“I reached out to ACR for duct installation and cleaning as my allergies had gotten much worse after working from home. They installed another cold air return in another part of the house as well as ran new larger ducting as we were getting hot spots in certain areas. The system itself was filthy with dust and mold. They cleaned the air handler, squirrel cage, and coated the inside of the ducts. Highly recommend them doing any AC work.”

Signs Your Air Ducts Need Repair
Most of your ductwork runs through the attic, so a leak or a loose duct can go unnoticed for a long time.
Meanwhile the cool air you pay for ends up in the attic instead of your rooms.
Look out for these signs:
- A room that never cools down. If a bedroom or office stays warmer than the rest of the house, the duct to that room may be torn, crushed or no longer connected.
- Weak airflow from some of your vents, even with the AC running.
- Higher power bills, with the AC running longer than it did last summer.
- More dust on your furniture than usual. A leaking return duct (the duct that carries air back to your AC) pulls in dusty air from the attic and blows it through the house.
- Water dripping from a duct or a vent, or a stain on the ceiling below one. Ducts with damaged insulation sweat in humid attic air, and the water runs down.
- Sagging, flattened or torn ducts, if you can see them from your attic hatch.
Common Air Duct Issues We Repair
- Ducts that have come apart at a joint or a connection
- Leaking joints and seams
- Torn, flattened or kinked flex duct
- Sagging duct runs (we hang them again on proper supports)
- Duct insulation that's torn or falling apart
- Damaged supply boots (the fitting that joins a duct to a ceiling vent)
- Damaged plenums (the box on top of your air handler that the ducts branch off from)
- Damaged sections of sheet metal duct
Our Air Duct Repair Process
2
We find the leaks and the damage
We check the ducts at your air handler and in your attic for leaks, tears, flattened runs and loose connections.
3
You get a clear price before we start
We tell you which sections need work and what the repair costs.
If your ducts are damaged in too many places to repair, we tell you that too, and give you a price for replacing them.
4
We repair and seal your ducts
We reconnect, rehang or replace the damaged sections, then seal the joints.
Should I Repair or Replace My Air Ducts?
Damaged ducts don't always mean new ductwork. A repair is usually enough when:
- The damage is in one or two spots, such as one loose connection or one torn or crushed run.
- Only one room is affected, and the rest of the house cools evenly.
- The rest of your ductwork is in good shape, with its insulation whole and its runs well supported.
Replacing makes more sense when the ductwork is damaged in many places, falling apart with age, or too small for your AC. Then we give you a price for new ductwork instead.
Either way, we'll give you an honest diagnosis.

FAQs on Duct Repair
How much does duct repair cost?
That depends on how many sections need fixing, whether they're flex or sheet metal, and how hard it is to reach them in your attic.
We look at your ducts first and give you the price before any work starts.
Can I fix a leaking duct with duct tape?
No, regular cloth duct tape won't hold on a duct for long. Heat in the attic dries out the glue.
Then the tape peels away from the seam, and the leak is back. So we seal joints with mastic instead.
Mastic is a thick paste made for sealing ducts. We brush it over the seam, and it sets into a seal that stays put in attic heat, where tape lets go.
